This Old Chef: Blog & Recipes

Rice. I know everybody says they have the perfect way to do rice... every time.

Well, guess what? So do I...

I take about a tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. I gently heat this in a pan, add 2 cups of rice... I generally use Basmati...

Stir on low heat for 2 minutes... add 3 cups of water... raise the heat and bring it just to the boil. Then I cover it, move it to a cool burner... turn the burner on as low as possible... let it go for 10 minutes... and then let it sit covered for 15...
